From a simple survey to find the most popular video game genre from your circle of friends to an around the world open-to-all survey for making important decisions regarding the presentation of your company's latest product, online polls are an important utility of the web.
There are hundreds of options for conducting a successful online survey. While some websites offer what it says on the tin, some go a step further to provide extra services and options, while some advertisement-riddled websites are plain irritating to use. From among this mess, It is important to pick the right website that will do what is expected.
While Facebook's inbuilt polling system is ample for conducting surveys among your friends, it is arguably Google Forms that offer the best survey conducting on the web. These two are friendly to use and require little introduction. But in this post I will show you a plain, easy, simple and straightforward (Not to mention aesthetically pleasing) program for one-question polls.
Just go to http://strawpoll.me/ and you will be immediately struck by the simpleness. No ads, no fancy carousal showing off it's features, no log-in required. A yellow notebook page shows up, and all you do is enter your question followed by the options. You can enable multiple poll choices or the aptly named "Permissive vote duplication checking" (Just click the "Huh?" button nearby if you don't get what this means.) and create your poll. You will immediately be given a URL that leads to your poll. Now you can share this URL with anyone to give them access to your poll. The results show up as number of votes, the percent of votes, and a neat pie chart.
This is a good website that can come in handy on multiple occasions.
Hope that helped!
